Stanley is on the North West Coast of Tasmania Australia and we've visited and stayed there many times over the years. There are convict Barracks at Highfield up on the hill overlooking the sea and The Nut. Excellent view for the convicts.
The map as to where Stanley is just after the post.
The Barricks were built in 1834 and occupied from 1836. About forty convicts were assigned to Circular Head establishment in 1932 and by 1833 there were seventy-three. The old convict barracks at Stanley were used by the Van Diemens Land Co as quarters for the employed men in the early days. Unfortunately they are just in total ruin now.
A few photos of what is left and strangers are not permitted into the paddock to take photos, so these are taken from the side of the road.
